Celtic swept St Mirren aside this afternoon as a hat-trick from Gary Hooper and goals from Georgios Samaras and Dylan McGeough
Celtic came roaring out of the traps and blew St Mirren away this afternoon. Georgios Samaras got the show underway on 4 minutes when he collected the ball after Marc McAusland failed to make a clean connection on the ball. Samaras still had a lot to do and carried the ball into the box. With defenders closing in from all around the Greek striker placed his shot instead of going for power. St Mirren keeper, Craig Samson got a hand to the shot but the ball spun slowly towards goal and settled 8” over the line.
Four minutes later, a clearly confident Samaras drove into the St Mirren penalty box before cutting the ball left for Anthony Stokes, who’s fired cross was turned over the line from 3 yards by Gary Hooper.
Samaras was running the show but was hampered by a knock to the ankle which he took a few moments to recover from. This coincided with St Mirren’s best period of play as the visitors gained more possession and territorial advantage in the period before half time.
Celtic started the second half just as brightly as they did the first as Hooper and Kayal could both have added to the score, however, the third would arrive 8 minutes into the second half. Victor Wanyama played an excellent forward pass to Stokes who hit the goal line before cutting back for Gary Hooper. Hooper collected with his back to goal but spun and shot in a sweeping move that left Samson with no chance.
Hooper completed his hat-trick on 57 minutes when he tried to play a one-two with Stokes but the ball was returned by a defender, allowing him to chip the on-rushing Samson.
18-year-old Dylan McGeough made his first impact as a Celtic player minutes after replacing James Forrest when he collected the ball 10 yards in front of his own box, ran 70 yards into the St Mirren box, before creating space and despatching Celtic’s fifth goal. An unforgettable moment for the young player.

Heeheee heeeheeee heeeheeee
What a fab weekend – huns lose and we romp – disnae get any better
4 points the gap and Rangers are just entering into a bad patch and picking up injuries
Celtic – Ppppppppppppppplllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssseeee invest in a good striker and we will win this league
NA
I hope the other teams in the league remember that rangers don’t do the sporting thing at a bounce ball.
Obofnti1888………I posted a ‘good feeling; about today last night…………they are no very good
Celtic’s thunderous 5-0 result yesterday put the wind up the huns, reflected in truth 90210’s telling showery burst across these pages.
Keep going, Lenny & the bhoys!
MAKE RANGERS TREMBLE
I had a bet on Killie to win @13/2.so I’m happy with that.
I’ve moaned about Celtic a few times this season,but after watching that game today I’ve never seen Celtic play as bad as them,so I’m happy with that.
For the rest of today It should be a hun free blog,so I’m happy with that.
But what I’m happiest about is,we’re going to win this League.
There will be many more happy days before the end of this season.
I’ve got a feeling woooooooo ooooo
That tonights gonna be a good night !
I also have a feeling that paddy fenlons home debut as hibs manager will see swally well and truely under pressureon the 10th…
I hope we go into the next derby on the 28th at paradise a point behind!
And THEN we will see who is champions material
CMON THE HOOPS
If Fat Sally gets his books, will Jimmy Krankie buy the gig?
Was it Aunt Sally’s tactical genius that put Aluko on the post… :)
Off to the pub :-)
And just remember everyone, this is before the 10 point deduction.
HEE HEE
Have we ever had a points turnaround like that in a week?
See these Irish managers!
Is that Lafferty injured as well?
Bocanegra, Papac (with a “mystery” virus), Naismith…
Injuries starting to bite.
Incidentally, I posted earlier that StMirren should be congratulated for trying to play football yesterday, and I felt that this was a trend creeping back into the Scottish game… Killie showed today what can be done with a bit of footballing ability, some solid tactics, and a determination not to simply dig in and defend.
Tuned in for the Ragers game, and was amazed at how poor they were, so stayed around for the delicious irony of Aluko being the only Rager that forgot to come out at the cross for the goal.
You couldn’t have scripted it better.
An incredible turnaround in our favour, after yesterday’s whirlwind stuff at Celtic Park.
Does Sone Aluko get his money back?
What’s that sound?
CQN crashing or the huns bottle?
Thank you Killie (now that’s words you don’t hear very often) for making a sad day brighter.
RIP Gary Speed

Don’t know the lad…but will ask my brother who does Aberdeenshire and Scottish Schools at U15s..I’m involved at U10s and U 13 levels mostly.
Celtic Scout up here Chic McLelland is very good – really works the patch.
Just heard the huns score – YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
This weekend just keeps getting better and better.
Down to 4 points and “Alistair” is feeling the heat.

It’s 2am Down-Under..SBS Have Just shone the Clip of Hitler Screaming at His Troops..(The One Made Famous as Last Day of the Transfer window @ Ipox)..You Know when they Tell Herr Murray Samaras has Signed for Timmy..
Made me Laugh on a Sad Day..
Summa
Aluko will be getting his money back…any more of that – ha!
Wot? – “Big Kyle” injured you say!
*checks date on calendar*

Uncontested ‘stoat-ups’ should be the norm.
Or should it be ‘stoats-up’?
Sissoko looked good for Killie…?
Seany O’Luko. You Da Maaaaaan!
It was the mousetachay that did it………he couldn’t see the game, to allow him to apply his tactical genius………..Killie were so far ahead of them, it was a joy to watch……..rankers were so boring …..as I also said last night, possibly too many players trying to avoid injury pending the ‘January Sale’….(except Laugherty, he doesn’t count as a player……I’ll be ragin’ if they sell him….!!!!….LOL!!!!)
can we sing at Sone Aluko
“what a waste of money”?
Breaking News
Killie goal to be rescinded as Aluko’s cheque bounced so technically he’s not a rangers player yet.
Linesman agrees… OFFSIDE.

Will the Killie fans be done for illicit chanting with their, “Go home ya huns, go home!” chanting at the end?
ha ha ha
emailed Paul67 about something entirely unconnected last night, but commented that I thought Killie could take something today!!!
So I will accept all praise for predicting this ;-)

Aluko was as he always has been
weak in the tackle , moderate passer and lazy
great to see this the level of hun signings to come
Bedoya looked pants as well
Cultsbhoy

Who missed the 3 penalties given to the Huns in the last 5 minutes of the 45 minutes added on for injury time.

Good afternoon !!

If I don’t count games with Celtic it was first Rangers game I have ever watched in my life.
I don’t think I have sinned today.

Well done Peter Lawwell.
That sub he gave Aluko out of his fat bonus has begun to pay off…
